[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is one of 6 from her Elementary school that has to go to a middle school for her compacted math class.  Instead of getting out the door for a 9.15 am start to the day, we now have to haul her up at 7 am and be out the door by 7.30 am to get her to the middle school for a 7.55 am class.  Total PITA.  And this is for TWO YEARS.  We only found out about it late August and not being familiar with the US public school system, I did not ask many questions and just accepted the place.  [/quote]

This process seems very uneven, compared to our compacted 4/5 situation. My DC doesn't go to a Middle school for math 4/5, but is taken out of his language immersion class (which does 4th grade math at the time) to attend the 4/5 math class with another teacher.

Does this mean your daughter doesn't lose any normal 4th grade class time, if her math class takes place before the start of the elementary school?  Does she still sit through the regular 4th grade math class?

Our DC loses out on the language aspect of the immersion program by not being in class while the rest of the students are being taught 4th grade math in the language.  The math 4/5 kids end up being less exposed to the language, most likely making it more difficult for them to keep up with language immersion once they get to middle school.
